The internet's been loaded with video of Justin Beiber being hit in the head with a water bottle at one of his concerts, but like most internet fads, it wasn't truly funny until it was remixed with autotune. Now you can truly appreciate the mishap.

"If someone can't understand why people would take some satisfaction in seeing him hit with a water bottle while on stage then I think the problem lies with them"...

uh, what?

Problems with elementary English aside, taking pleasure in this video is just mean. Justin Bieber represents all manufactured entertainment, check. By this standard we should hate Madonna, Justin Timberlake, Ricky Martin, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, uhhh... more names than I can think of on the spur of my drunken moment because I don't fill scrapbooks with such names, but lots of people do. Some of these humans deserve censure, but why blame the product? This Bieber-bashing is like kicking a prostitute for her pimp's crimes. Oh, and for her johns' as well.

He is a figurehead who represents a large part of what is wrong with our society. People object to having the likes of Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, etc jammed down their throat by trans-national media conglomerates who exercise illegitimate power over our society(ies). Most don't intellectualize it that much, but the antipathy towards Justin Bieber by the vast majority of human beings in the world is a natural emotional reaction. If someone can't understand why people would take some satisfaction in seeing him hit with a water bottle while on stage then I think the problem lies with them. They probably wouldn't have understood if someone threw a tomato at Marie Antoinette, either. "But, the nobility are trying to help us, and they have a very difficult job with all that responsibility." Har Har.
